"zone de préparation" sounds good to me.

Hmm.. if you look at the git-gui program, when we use "Revert", it's not always the usage of the git-revert command that is invoked.
Most of the time, it's the equivalent of running "git reset --hard", or "git checkout path/filename.ext" (in fact, it uses git-checkout-index, see git-gui/lib/index.tcl::revert_helper..).
That is true for example in the "Commit" menu, 3rd to last item, which reads in french "Inverser les modifications" or "Révoker les modifications" as I modified it at some point.
What happens here, is really not inversion of modifications; we're just wiping out all changes from the working dir, back to HEAD. Several of the translated messages are used in *that* context.
So, considering this, which one of: "Annuler", "Révoquer", "Défaire", "Effacer", "Restaurer l'original", "Scrapper", "Trucider", "Supprimer" + "les modifications" would be best ?
It should be obvious that it's going to affect the blue icons, and that those modifications will dissapear forever.
Also note that "svn revert" does like git-checkout-index, and not like git-revert, so the terms must be clear here, even in English.
